The accused, who could not be named to protect the victim’s identity, was not asked to plead when he briefly appeared before magistrate Lindiwe Maphosa.
The State alleges that sometime between August and September this year, the accused sneaked into the 17-year-old girl’s bedroom and raped her each time she was left in his custody.
The matter only came to light this month after an anonymous whistle-blower alerted the police, leading to accused’s arrest.
